when i first arrived in davis, and started school, i was shocked at the amount of bike traffic. i had never seen sooooooooooooo many bicycles at a time before. and who knew it was possible for so many bikes to fit on a stretch of road. you shld see the bike traffic in the 10mins between classes. and as i walk from kleiber to everson, i'm constantly worried i'd be roadkill in the next second. on the front page of the california aggie will be "Girl, 20, dead. How could she not have seen that bike?"
and today, i bought my first bike. yes, in case you're wondering, i can ride (badly). i suppose eventually i'll get the hang of it, the damn road circles. of course, it'd be smart to invest in a helmet at this point, if i hadn't already spent $315 on the bike + lock + light. i'm worried for my physical wellbeing. i'm worried for my life, at least until i get the hang of this riding thing. i mean..i'll be doing it everyday, i eventually will get it. right?
now, all of you reading this have the moral responsibility to pray i don't die because i'm travelling on the left side of the road, instead of the right! (:
